Yes. I play Halos SP first, MP second basis. You probably could drop the MP from Halos and i'd keep buying them.
"Fuck MP" as in, give me pure single player focused Halo (with co-op).

I think everyone should hold off on being worried about anything they see in those leaked pictures because:
1. they're leaked, and with no little-to-no context;
2. they're likely from an unfinished build.
I mean, who knows? Those seat designations could be for everyone as they're starting out. They could disappear after a certain amount of time. And there could be an option to turn them off, however unlikely you think that is.
Have fun with them, but don't jump to any conclusions.

I just don't see why you're practically arguing against us having the option to turn it off.
Yes, and I've never liked that UI.

I would love more audio options/notification options in console games. Just puttin' that out there.

I'd appreciate more customization in general. It seems like a lot of devs want everyone to play everything as THEY intended. Which I understand, but I feel that if I wanted to make a custom control scheme or change my HUD around I should be able to.
I'm not sure why you're allowed to speak in absolutes but when other people do it you jump on them. Regardless, watching footage of MLG players obviously proves nothing. The only people who know if the text distracted them are the people playing, not the people watching.
I'm not saying it will happen often. I'm just saying that if it happens to me even once it will be one time too often. And for what? For people who are too blind to look at the corner of the screen? Just give us a toggle (or let us move around HUD elements) and everyone is happy. It's that easy.

They said they don't notice it. I don't think I will either. Still, it'd be nice to be able to turn it off. Having the +10 numbers pop up I can understand. Let's you know what your kill was worth. But the DOUBLE KILL and stuff is unnecessary. We have medals for that.
not sure if serious

Definitely agree about the redundant textual stuff. The numerics really are not a problem for me.

About the medals. I really hope they look better right now, cause they looked bad in the E3 build. They all looked so much alike and the blue color they had for the multi kill medals looked pretty bad.
I think I'm going to try bumping up my sensitivity today. I normally play on 4 and sometimes 3. I'm going to play on 7 tonight and see how it goes. My game really improved when I bumped up to 10 back in the Halo 3 days. I'll also be streaming tonight
Noticing doesn't mean people bother to complain.
Arguably it is not that big deal but the text appearing on the side is simply better.
Also makes more sense fiction-wise, the Spartan's info feeds are probably on the sides unless they opt to move them to center to study them more closely.

Turning off things should be optional but I'm not going to lose sleep over it,
I actually quite like the headshot text and stuff, works well in CoD. People obviously have issues with it so making it optional would be great but its very likely not going to be a priority when the graphics on level 3 still need tightening a little bit.
Ellis said something about them being changed. I think i liked the reach medal's the best. Really dislike the Halo 4 ones we seen.
That blue is getting a bit Too much now

I didn't really notice and I hate the big yellow +100 crap in CoD. The game does a great job of communicating your actions without having to look at medals or text (at least for more hardcore players), so I ignored them for the most part. I can see why it would be handy for other types of players though.
I did find the announcements of assassinations and distractions to be, well, distracting. It was weird.
You could make the same argument about the announcer too. It is redundant to have a medal and then an announcement of that medal.
Whatever the case is, I'm not a fan of the new medal color scheme. I found them hard to make out.
EDIT: I hate Lion's autocorrect, it never makes logical choices...

I think they are supposed to be like that because its VR simulation. Those medals look pretty VR-ish to me.
These look like randomized emblems.

Yep, though I wonder how much they'll be changed from the E3 build. I mean, designers have put work into those medals and I can't imagine them radically changing them.

The medals seem kind of out of place with the rest of the theme. I hope those are placeholders.

Yeah i get that vibe as well, But i just don't feel the look of them, I loved the Gritty make over reach emblems got.
I think a better route would of been to make them look military in nature then shift the hue to blue so they look like some kind of UNSC scoring system. Currently its just a collection of symbols which i understand is poor criticism but still.
I liked how Gears 3 did medals with the Ribbon system (kind of like battlefield)
That was my initial reaction but I don't know if its just because they are so different to what I'm used to.
Edit: For the record this is what other games are offering in terms of "screen candy"

Also, I really don't think the medals we've seen are final, so I'm not worried about those.

It's because they're really cheery and happy in what's to be a serious game.

I apologise the snarky "hmmm" comment.
They've made their choice anyway.

I could picture that its what the Spartans see post game after their training simulation. They should be all computery. I think that fits pretty well in the theme of whats going on in the Halo universe. Why am I talking about the Halo universe?
I think its a valid criticism if you just dont like the look but graphically it fits, least imo.
In the campaign something else might fit better...but I dunno if they even use medals in campaign anymore.

They can be computery and still be more dark. Just because it's a computer doesn't negate the color palette expressed visually.

Yup, Iv been fine with all the UNSC displays throughout every Halo but these really seem out of place.
I actually like them. They look clean and simple.

When watching the streams i was genuinely like "What the fuck is that" at some of the medals. While i understand with time id memorize them i still do not like the idea that i can get confused looking at the medals.
I wish i had some kind of Anti bro fist.gif for you right now.
I had to laugh at this after what Over wrote.

*Not a OS war post, just about autocorrect being on computer OS's*
I fucking love the autocorrect on Windows 8. I go back to a Windows 7 machine I'm raging because my common typos aren't just fixed. I can type so much faster with it.
As for the recurring text in the middle of the screen issue, I'll say what I've said before. Battlefield 3 literally fills the screen with text (worse than H4) and I don't notice it and it doesn't get in my way when I'm playing the game despite being all you see when you watch a video or see a screen, so I'm inclined that the same will be true for H4.

You can make clean/simple still more gritty and serious. I just played Viva Pinata last night. Medals look more in line for that game than H4.
In my opinion they look too... off. They all have the same colors, and don't really look like they should match the action that they're supposed to.
That's being a bit generous. In my experience you can walk past most enemy encounters in Halo campaigns.
1) White text needs to be a toggle
2) BK Halo 4 propipe scrapped in favor of bringing Reach propipe back
3) Throw jetpack in the trash

Sure why not.
I half agree, i wish that 343 would use more colors, perhaps based on the extremity of the feat you preform, like what they did with commendations; Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Onyx, not necessarily those colors, but something like that that relays additional information. I'm not sure how they would go about doing that while making the medals distinct and unique, but it's an idea.
